Not the best one but still utterly amazing! Bellatrix was creepy, but that's how she is in the books, so I can't complain. For those of you who have seen it, you'll know that she is involved in a tragic death during the film's thrilling climax. I'll definitely buy this one as soon as possible!!!!

I don't know Lincoln6Echo. I'm sure a complete set with all 7 films will be released, however that won't be for another few years, as well as very expensive.

I own the first and fourth, been waiting for that dream 7-film set, but I think this Limited Edition 5-film set looks promising. Ehhhh I don't know what to do, so much to buy and so little money to spend. Considering the the only one I liked was Prisoner Of Azkaban I think I'll pass.

I've bought the first four 2-disc editions and I plan to purchase this one.. but I feel if extended cuts are released in the future, I'll have to purchase the Definitive Set at a later date.

As for the film, I enjoyed it. It wasn't wonderful, but it was way better than GOF. For me, my favourite movies are the Columbus films (PS and COS) and I don't think any of them have come close to that yet. Ooh, controversial.

That packaging for the boxed set is sweet. But I have to agree, it's c**p that they are releasing a gift boxed set of the whole series when the series really isn't complete! They know full well they will release another whole-uber boxed set when all of them are finally out there! It's so hard to resist this boxed set, because I really don't want to buy another boxed set in the future without feeling like I wasted money. I think I'll resist tempation and avoid the stores. I'll wait for the COMPLETE series boxed set.

I've just bought them separately thus far. Lest they come out with a box set containing new cuts of the films, I won't worry about my films being in a box.

I miss the digipaks, though, and wish they would have continued that packaging scheme rather than cut it off after CoS.

i so hear ya....i too dont get it. and this time its even worse because it isnt just a boring old generic c**ppy cardboard box to hold em like they usually do....the set is actully pretty nice and full, to put all that effort into a movie series that still has 2 left....weird.

I do hope that the box will be able to fit the two upcoming films (like they would use the extra goodies to fill in the space that the next two films will take up). but they'd have to guarantee the owners of the limited sets the same package design for those films, which would get pretty complicated. so yeah, this set is not worth getting... but it would be awesome if they did what i just explained. i guess it could work. the next two films would replace the bookmark collection and rather useless dvd game (or maybe there's enough space in the box to fit everything in it). i dont know. they're crazy for releasing this.

I will rent this, I do look forward to checking this one out although the reviews aren't so positive..still...what really stinks is with each movie, there is the DVD release and then the gift set with all the movie... I heard there are 2 more Harry Potter films left,by then I will see if I can get an empty box for free that can hold the entire series so I wont double dip. Some companies will mail off an empty box to put your DVDs in..it is a good way to save $$$

First few books were good but the movies are a PIECE OF S**T. Wooden acting, average effects untalented directors. The whole saga seems to have been sugar coated and become more of an american disney type product.

I think I like the 1 disc art better. Does anyone else see that they changed Hermoine's wand?? It doesnt look like she is flick us off anymore on the single disc version. I hope they maybe change the 2 disc art around a little.

Yep, the single-disc artwork looks cooler than the 2-disc edition. But no special features... I was rooting for a commentary myself to be on the single-disc since the initial specs didn't say anything about it being barebones up until now.

I love the single-disc cover WAY more than the 2-disc. I like the back cover too, but it doesn't make sense, seeing as they never rode brooms. And that picture of Umbridge and the Inquistorial Squad seems just...out of place.

Shame Warners is continuing with their tradition of omitting commentary tracks on their HP releases. And the HD-DVD release won't be a combo... hurray!

Good film, the best Potter movie yet, which was ironic considering it was my least favourite book (but I can't actually hate any of Rowling's writing). Good film, will pick it up with all the others in a box set once all seven books are adapted.

In my Video Business from a few weeks ago it showed that giftset and said it would be Blu-Ray and HDDVD as well so it'll be interesting to see if WB actually does that.

It's a waste of money buying a five movie gift set considering there are two more to do.Two books that will be near impossible to turn into films.They just have to much going on and very complicated ideas.I'll hold out for the seven movie set.That is gorgeous though.But do you really need a Harry Potter bookmark set?I didn't think so.

I think a lot of people saying this is the worst Harry Potter movie say this because a lot of the book (i.e. the fans' favorite moments that weren't shot) was cut out or either say it lacks the magic of the previous installments. The movies grew less and less cutesier with each sequel and by the time POA and GOF rolled around the cuteness was gone completely.

Baloney I say. It's a worthy addition to the Potter saga, movie-wise and it's a heck of a lot better than many of those threequels the studios released before it. And at least it wasn't bloated, only 2 hours and 7 minutes long (minus end credits) which is far more economical and entertaining than the likes of "Transformers", "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" or "Spider-Man 3".

I love the disc art posted on TheMovieInformer, which I'm actually a co-founder of; although the extent of my building the site was only making the banners (aside from the one ugly Spider-Man 3 one) and fixing the DVD release dates. Anyway, that cover is nice, no matter how many freaks don't like that poster, and I'm making a full-size version of that cover, except probably without the silver border, and a different background design more similar to the ones for the first 3 films.

this movie was one of my fav im surprised people say this is the worst tø me azkaban was the weakest of the movies the whole movie just felt flat and rushed to be made i dunno why and also i really hope a winner comes out soon from this hd/bluray im tired of hd getin some beter featers etc anyway i will pick this up deffintly or get it for christmas

Wait - is that the cover art for 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix,' or is it the s**t I took this morning? This is just a nasty hodge podge of press photos that looks like it was thrown together in 30 minutes.

I loved this movie! Out of all the summer blockbusters I believe that this is easily the best, and in my opinion the best Potter film to date (even though I wish they kept a few tid-bits). The filmmakers took the book and slimmed it down into a film that worked and represented the spirit novel. The actors were great, as well as the action and effects. Although I would have liked if they used the second international poster, I like the dvd cover very much, and I just can't wait till Dec 11th to get my hands on that 2-Disc DVD!!!

But the ''A&E documentary,Trailing Tonks feature with Actress Nat Tena and the a Fun and Games feature in which director David Yates and editor Mark Day show us what a difference a good edit makes and allows you to edit a scene'' are earlier not confirmd. But let's hope the other future's stay.

The fake cover was horrible. It was ported over from the Swedish poster and it looks awful -- you can hardly recognize anyone in there because it's so airbrushed (only Rupert and Evanna are recognizable) and the same layout from GOF was used in creating it.

Oh, and they better release a single disc dvd too, 'cause then the "- Disc Edition" won't be "Special."

They are -- they actually stated it in the press release, if you read carefully. They haven't released the artwork for the single-disc edition yet -- going by what they've done for GOF, I suppose the single-disc edition will have the exact same art only with a "Widescreen Edition" banner and that it'll be featureless.

Still feel that WB is setting us up for the worlds largest double dip. These DVD releases for the Potter films lack any sort of comprehensive making of feature and they lack commentary. You KNOW that the kids and directors have had to of recorded commentary for these films. If not, somebody at WB has dropped the ball. As much as I want commentaries, if they haven't been recorded and instead, will be done once it is all said and done for a mega box set, will be a shame. Oh well, we shall see what the future holds.

This movie was the worst Harry Potter film ever. I watched this one in Imax, but if it wasn't for the 3D, I would have completely hated it. But I'll still buy it though, Blu-ray version's mine, only 'cause I have the other four.

Oh, and they better release a single disc dvd too, 'cause then the "- Disc Edition" won't be "Special."

Will Warners provide the single-disc art yet, as well as back art for the DVD, HD-DVD and Blu-ray releases soon?

Really? In movies 3 and 4, Kloves made up scenes that weren't in the book (such as McGonagall teaching the students to dance and giving Hermione more lines than Ron), which was annoying. Aside from the major cuts, Goldenberg paid homage to things that were largely omitted from the book (such as a brief glimpse of Sirius's mother's portrait) and watching the movie, one doesn't need to have read the book to fully understand the movie. And plus, Ron and Hermione had equal time in the movie.

I think one is confusing the screenplay (which was probably a three-hour-long rough cut) with what was shot but removed in the editing room. But anyway...

This was easily the worst of the movies. The screenplay was horrible. I'm extremely excited that Steve Kloves is back for Half Blood Prince. The directing was good, but the screenplay was the worst of the 5.

I don't know if you know (you probably do), word is that the HD-DVD version is going to have exclusive bonus features NOT included in the BluRay?

From HighDefDigestQuote: Not unlike the recently-released '300' and 'Blood Diamond,' the HD DVD edition of 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix' will contain a trio of exclusive bonus features, including a "In-Movie Experience" video commentary featuring "the cast from Dumbledore's Army coming together to share memorable moments," the ability to "Pick Your Favorite Scenes" and assemble your favorite clips from the movie into a montage, and additional web-enabled content including downloads and other goodies to be announced.

Count me in for the 2 disc. I always enjoy the HP movies, just annoyed that the books get longer while the running time on each movie stays the same. I would gladly sit through a longer movie, but then again I guess they think most kids won't. Can't wait to add this to my other HP dvds.

Can't wait for this one! I saw it twice at the theater and loved it. I'm still not sure if I like it better than POA, but I'm sure multiple DVD viewings will determine that eventually. I wish it had been a bit longer (some scenes seemed truncated, ending before they should have), but otherwise a really good movie.

I for one loved the Harry Potter series. But this one was a complete mess. Needed soem serious cofee to stay awake. I'll pick it up in order to have complete set. But, believe you me, it won't be on my "wow I have to watch it again" list

Great movie -- the best Harry Potter movie out there now, heck I think it's even better than POA.

cant wait to get this. why released so late tho? thought it would have been in november. either way i like the cover. i was afraid they would use the poster with all the kids and make it look like the 4th ones cover. i hope they keep this cover i like it.
